Let me first just say that I have been trying to get the Saga of Tuesday to publish since, well, Tuesday. Not sure what's going on with the laptop--or Blogger, for that matter--but I could NOT get it to publish from home. So now you get a double whammy.
So I had a minor epiphany last night while playing WoW. I realised that it is an escape for me in more than just the respect of "I'm playing a fantasy game that allows me to not think about real life for a couple hours"... When I play I nearly always team up with other players or guildmates with a lot more experience than me. They are always leading me around and showing me things--basically holding my hand through the entire thing. And I like it! This is unusual for me in that irl ("in-real-life" for those of you not versed in WoW-ese) I'm an utter control freak. And particularly lately I've had to handle a lot of stuff by myself, from getting a Realtor (not my finest moment, by all evidences), to packing, cleaning, getting repairs done, and being a single mom to two crackerdogs. Not to mention having to train my replacement at work and tie up all the loose ends here. It's so nice to log into the game and just become someone's puppy for a while. I follow them around and they tell me what to do and it gets done and I haven't had to exert a whole lot of effort in the process. That might be what I love about the game most right now. Imagine the shock of my online gaming buddies if they met me in real life and found out what a domineering girl I am!
Anyway. Plumber coming over tonight to have a look-see at the guest faucet. Sprinkler guy coming over Saturday morning to have a look-see at the sprinklers (and gushers). Russell coming in TONIGHT to save the day! His flight comes in late--11:41pm (yawn)--so I will at least have some time to get some more stuff done before having to go pick him up. Tomorrow will be a dreadful zombie day, as I try to make it through my last day of work on probably a handful of sleep hours.
After waiting so long, it's all happening so fast. I'm excited. A little nervous. Not really looking forward to 15 hours in the truck with the pups, but the end result will be worth it!
No lattes here, but work does beckon, and away I run...

Oh Kerri! I am glad that Russell will be home tonight. I am glad that the inspection went well and the Engineer is not going to suggest piers. I am glad that you are getting to get out of there sooner now than later. I am glad that we got a double dose of you. I am glad that you have a chance to escape your "control girl" world and become someone elses puppy (love that term).
Give those pups big hugs...and post about what their responses are to Russell!!
